Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

I move 336's on 7.

 

Funny thing is, I don't have a stack cover, But I got good ol shrink wrap tape. lol
They fired it up to unld. and it was sounding funny.
I look and they forgot to un tape the stack

 

Yea, but out there they have some funny weight laws. lol

 

I used to as well, couldn't run them in CA myself because of their stupid deal with lift axles.

 

The last 336 I moved came out to 90k on the nose. Depending on the trailer, I can go to like 60k on a tridem but then I do need a pilot car so it is much cheaper for us to put more axles on the ground since we already have the trailers.

 

Well Jason,

There were a number of reasons - the set up was goofy, 10 axles.

A non Cali legal 4 axle tractor and no multi axle axle inspection report.

A close coupled 2 axle
Jeep needed at least 12' to get a weight for the jeep separate

A 3 axle trailer with a pin on 4th axle

So neither CA or AZ will give you weight for a 4 axle group,
So the 4 axle trailer acted like a 3 axle and for Arizona because the combination was over 140k - class C trid bonus - so with 8 wide axles the limit is 51.6k or 8 6 wide 53.6k

my best guess is he would have been limited with a min heavy steer to like 12 + 53 + 53 in AZ - or more likely not a permitable combination.


And yes JD, I know back where you are you guys can haul 390s on 5 axle set ups.out here in the southwest, if you are going to haul north of 85k across AZ and into CA it most likely going to be 9 axle or 16 tire set ups.

 

I can haul 94k in az Ron. but I aint gona say how. wink, wink.

 

It always amazes me at what you guys out west have to go through to move machines in the 70-85K range, back here in PA, WV we run 350, 336, 360's all day long on 6 axles. Happy truckings

 

A little 270 John Deere.

It is so far forward because that is a 2 axle trailer. And I had to take it across the dam so that I could turn around. Nobody was getting across while I was on the dam.
